You may not like it, but at least Ted Cruz told the truth here. Donald Trump certainly didn't.
You may think he told the truth, I do not. In a round a bout, needs some explanation really not the truth truth, I guess. I do not know you or how you think but maybe just maybe your opinion is a bit biased.. as many of ours are in politics.

Nope, I support the Representative Republic created under the US Constitution. Too bad you don't understand that or don't support the form of government in the US.

The elections in question were seven elections at Congressional District Conventions, which were held in different locations across a period of days and then another election at the State Convention on Sunday.

You must be a spectacularly awful attorney if you really believe that these would not be recognized as separate elections in a court of law. Small elections, yes. But elections they all certainly were.

Just because you are incapable or refuse to understand does not make the explanation a "lie".

And you must not be an attorney at all if you don't realize how easy it would be to discredit the comment as deceptive and misleading in the context of candidates, not to mention media sources, allocating primary victories consistently and solely by referencing individual states and territories, not different congressional districts and a multi-phase state process.

that is why nothing changes. The two parties created a system were who ever they want wins and then the people are given two canned options that are the same in the end (owned by the same people). If you run third party you'll never win because the media will never cover you because they are part of the system

What a load of crap.

You are right, if anyone would have been in a position to object to the process, it would have been him. Just conjecturing, maybe he did object and he got booted out? Now, he has a chance to get revenge if that's the case.

Every single day, Lyin' Ted proves Trump right, again.


There was a time I was 50/50 Cruz/Trump. Now I'm 100 Trump. Cruz makes me sick with his antics. He is showing his stripes, indeed, he is.
